Chapter 1109: Yuankou Fortification (Supplement 33/100)
"The Great Xia Dynasty raised millions of troops to attack, how can we resist?"
Hirado Castle, the lord of the castle, Taira Yoshimori, looks at the empty port.
After the Bactria Dynasty declared war on the Toei Shogunate, merchant ships from the Bactria Dynasty left Hirado Castle, causing the trade of Hirado Castle to plummet.
As the lord of Hirado Castle, Taira Yoshimori needed money to distribute to the samurai.
Hirado Castle is overcast.
The Great Xia Dynasty and the Toei shogunate went to war, and Kyushu Island bore the brunt of the disaster, and Hirado Castle, located in the northwest of Kyushu, was even more doomed.
A Xuzhou merchant came to the castle tower of Hirado Castle: "Taira Yoshimori, our majesty, I want to know your reply. β
"Don't you just want to have a foothold on Hirado Island? But the only area I can control is Hirado Island. When you attack the island of Kyushu, you will surely go ashore in Hakata Bay. Near Hakata Bay is Tachibanayama Castle, and the Mori family, the Tachibana family, the Otomo family, the Shimazu family, and Ryuzoji Temple have stationed 400,000 troops at the 'Motoko Fortification' in Hakata Bay. β
Ping Yisheng looked at Mi Zhu, a wealthy merchant in Xuzhou, who arrived, and intentionally or unintentionally said the Daimyo of Kyushu Island, as well as the Maori family who arrived from Honshu Island, for the defense of Kyushu Island.
Mi Zhu was aggressive: "I want to know the specific strength, it is best to have the deployment map of the 'Yuankou Fortification'." β
"Mi Zhu, I'm just the lord of Hirado Castle, the population under my jurisdiction is only tens of thousands, and the number of troops is only a few thousand at most, and this time the task is to be responsible for defending Hirado Castle. Daimyo like me include the Matsuura family, the Arima family, and so on. The real defense of the Motoko defense is the Mori family, the Tachibana family, the Otomo family, the Shimazu family, and the Ryuzoji family, and the five families join forces, and the main will be Shimazu Yoshihisa. I don't have the right to get a defense map. β
"The four Shimazu brothers, Shimazu Yoshihisa, Shimazu Yoshihiro, Shimazu Tokihisa, and Shimazu Iehisa, are brave and good at fighting. The eldest son inherited the throne of the family governor and was the commander-in-chief, Shimazu Yoshihiro was brave, Shimazu was old and calculating, and Shimazu Ihisa was good at tactics. The four brothers are also the most powerful presence on the island of Kyushu. β
"The Otomo family, the family governor Otomo Zonglin, there are generals Takahashi Shaoyun, Takahashi Tonghu father and son, Takahashi Tonghu is known as 'unparalleled in the West'."
"The Tachibana family, the family governor Tachibana Michiyuki, was originally a retainer of the Otomo family, and later separated. Tachibana Michiyuki is known as the 'God of Thunder'. β
"The dragon temple family, the family governor of the dragon temple Longxin, known as the 'bear of the fat front', the retainers have the four kings of the dragon temple."
"The Mori family, who did not belong to the daimyo of Kyushu Island, but to the daimyo of Honshu Island, was ordered by Oda Nobunaga to defend the 'Motoko Fortification' in Hakata Bay. The governor of the family, Mori Terumoto, is mediocre, but he has two uncles, Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei, who are good at commanding troops and using strategies respectively. β
"In addition to the above people who are worth noting, other generals may be just miscellaneous fish for you."
"Oda Nobunaga's army on the island of Honshu is ready to support the 'Motoko Fort'. In addition, the naval division defended Shimonoseki into the Seto Inland Sea, as well as the Nagato Sea in the northern part of Honshu Island. β
Taira Yoshimori hesitated, but still revealed some of Oda Nobunaga's deployments to Mi Zhu, as well as informed Mi Zhu of some daimyo and their generals who needed attention.
"The four Shimazu brothers? One family can give birth to four generals at the same time. β
"There is nothing strange about the use of soldiers, nepotism."
Ping Yisheng didn't think so.
The core force of the Shimazu family is the Satsuma samurai, the Satsuma samurai are brave and aggressive, and after Shimazu Yoshihisa came to power, he appointed three brothers as generals, so the four brothers are all ruthless.
Similar families also have the sons of Tuolei, Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, HΓΌlegΓΌ, and Ali Buge, who are also four ruthless people.
"Hoarding grain and grass in Hirado Castle, our fleet will be based on Tsushima Island, Iki Island, and Hirado Island."
"If I help you, I should be able to keep my position as the lord of Hirado Castle, right?"
"Not just Hirado Castle, but even you can be the lord of Hizen Province."
Mizhu is divided according to the volume of the Han Empire, so the four islands of Dongying are equivalent to a state, each large island is equivalent to a county, and Kyushu Island has nine order countries, hence the name Kyushu, each order system country, equivalent to a county.
Hirado Castle is a medium-sized castle.
However, Hirado Castle is one of the world's trade nodes, and the port has a teleportation array.
The expeditionary force of the Great Xia Dynasty, if they occupy the special city of Hirado Castle, can use the teleportation array to obtain supplies.
As for why he didn't use Hirado Castle to teleport troops directly, it was because the teleportation array had a limited number of troops to transmit every day, and the time it took for a million-strong army to assemble at Hirado Castle was enough for the expeditionary force to reach Kyushu Island.
The materials that tens of thousands of warships can transport are not comparable to a teleportation array.
Of course, taking Hirado Castle can be used for follow-up supplies.
Ping Yisheng listened to Mi Zhu's meaning, and Chu Tian was willing to make him the lord of the Feiqian Kingdom, which was equivalent to the county order of the Han Empire, which was somewhat moved.
Hirado Castle is simply unable to defend in the face of tens of thousands of warships, so if Hirado Castle is exchanged for the position of the lord of Hizen Province......
Hakata Bay, Motoko fortification. A Great Wall stands on the edge of a beach a few dozen meters from the sea, with towers, arrow towers, and catapults, and the daimyo of Kyushu Island have done their best to defend it, investing a lot of construction drawings and stones to create an iron wall that players call the "Yuankou Fortification".
The origin of the "Yuan Kou Fortification" can be traced back to the Mongol Empire Kublai Khan, who ordered two expeditions to the Eastern Empire, the first time the Eastern Ying Shogunate suffered heavy losses, because the deputy marshal of the Yuan army was injured, and the kamikaze destroyed the Yuan ships and failed. So the Dongying shogunate ordered the construction of a stone barrier to guard against the Yuan Dynasty army.
Sure enough, when the stone barrier was built, the second expeditionary force of the Yuan Dynasty arrived, and the stone barrier helped the Dongying shogunate to stop the Mongols.
Therefore, this stone barrier is called the "Yuan Kou Fortress", and the hurricane that destroyed the Yuan Dynasty fleet is called the "kamikaze".
It was not easy for the Hojo shogunate at that time to stop the Mongol Empire, which was in full swing.
Taking history as a lesson, the player proposed to Oda Nobunaga to build a stronger "Yuankou Fortification", setting up arrow towers, towers, watchtowers, catapults, bed crossbows, fire guns and other weapons to prevent the Xia army from coming ashore.
The reason why Hakata Bay was chosen as the focus of defense is because Kyushu Island is mountainous, and Hakata Bay is relatively flat and easy to land. In addition, the area is close to Goryeo, and the supply line is short. There is also a teleportation array at Hirado Castle that can be used.
"My lord, our Tachibana Mountain Castle is near Hakata Bay, if the soldiers and horses of the Great Xia Dynasty come ashore from here, Tachibana Mountain Castle will bear the brunt of it......"
The Tachibana family's retainer, Ono Jinyuki, expresses his concern to Michiyuki Tachibana.
Tachibanayama Castle is located on Mt. Tachibana and is the main castle of the Tachibana family.
Although the mountain castle built by the Daimyo of Toei is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is ......
It can't withstand the siege of a million troops.
"Since you have decided to protect Kyushu, you have to do whatever it takes."
Tachibana Michiyuki clenched the famous knife "Raiche" in his hand, this sword has lightning damage, and it is similar to Li Guanggong's burning damage.
"Father, please let me lead the female iron artillery team and guard Tachibanayama Castle with my father, and guard Kyushu!"
A young girl in samurai armor arrives at Tachibana Michiyuki's camp with a group of women's iron cannons.
This girl has snow-white skin and bright eyes and bright teeth.
Tachibana Chiyo, the daughter of Tachibana Michiyuki, the next governor of the Tachibana family, has a special firearms class - "Tachibana Early Strike Girl".
"I plan to take in Takahashi Tonghu, the son of Takahashi Shaoyun, and change his name to Tachibana Sogeru, and after repelling the Xia army, Takahashi Tonghu will join our Tachibana family and assist you in ruling Tachibana Mountain Castle, what do you think?"
Tachibana Michiyuki has no son, only one daughter, so he attaches great importance to Tachibana Chiyo, regards Tachibana Chiyo as a candidate for family governor, and even asks Takahashi Tonghu, the "unparalleled general of the Western Kingdom", to join the army.
Tachibana Chiyo did not refuse: "Everything is up to my father." β
Tachibana Michiyuki looked at the son of his friend Takahashi Shaoyun: "Takahashi Tonghu, can you hear what Chiyo said?" In this Yuankou fortification battle, if you make a meritorious service, I can accept you as an adopted son, then Tachibana Mountain Castle and Chiyo are all yours. β
Takahashi replied, "Thank you, father-in-law! β
"Okay."
Tachibana Michiyuki recognizes Takahashi's ability to take the tora.
Takahashi Shaoyun is as famous as Tachibana Michiyuki, and Takahashi Tonghu is the son of Takahashi Shaoyun, and Wu Yong is still above Takahashi Shaoyun.
If you can enter Tachibanayama Castle, then Tachibana Michiyuki's daughter and territory will be your own in the future.
Takahashi's eyes were hot.
Tachibana Chiyo is not only a beauty, but also a military commander with a special firearm class.
Tachibanayama Castle is also under the jurisdiction of hundreds of thousands of people.
Even if he entered Tachibana Mountain Castle and changed his name and surname to Tachibana Soshige, Takahashi Tonghu didn't mind.
Compared with the identity of the son-in-law, the real benefits are real.
Tachibana Chiyo's face was very calm, the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, the rules of the four islands of Dongying were similar to those of ancient Huaxia.
Since it was Tachibana Michiyuki's decision, she couldn't object.
Chiyo Tachibana stood on the stone platform of the "Motoko Stone Barrier", pressed his left hand on the handle of the Taidao, and looked at the long stone barrier and the arrow tower.
There were a total of five legions, Mori, Tachibana, Shimazu, Otomo, and Ryuzoji, and 400,000 troops were assembled to defend the Motoko stone fortress, which was almost impermeable.
In addition, the daimyo of Honshu Island, such as Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Date Masamune, had taken control of the Seto Inland Sea coast, sent millions of troops, and fought with all their national strength.
The Yuankou stone fortress on Kyushu Island is the first line of defense laid by Dongying, and it is also the strongest line of defense.
Five legions were guarded in sections, and from time to time samurai patrolled the seashore, day and night.
The whole Dongying is like a great enemy.
None of the daimyo dared to let up.
The scouts of the Toei shogunate have obtained clear information, and the first batch of troops of the Great Xia Dynasty to attack Kyushu Island has reached one million!
"Listening to what my father said, the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty is dozens of times that of ours, and the population is at least ten times more than that......"
Although Tachibana Chiyo had never been to the Central Plains, she learned from the player and Tachibana Michiyuki, who had fought against the Xia army, that the Great Xia Dynasty was an unprecedentedly powerful empire.
Fighting such a powerful empire could be a life-or-death.
The soldiers and horses of the Great Xia Dynasty came from the sea.
"No matter what, you have to defend Tachibana Mountain Castle."
